So can we all agree that Russell is not to take all the blame for this season. …

———————–

You’re right. JaMarcus doesn’t deserve ALL the blame for this season.

Just 95% of it.

——————————————————
That’s just really dangerous man!

What does that really mean? It seems like we would just simply need a QB change and we could keep everything else in play then.

Why is EVERYONE saying that we need a C, RG, RT, MLB, Nickle Corner, AND a new HC if Russell was 95% of the problem?

———————————-

We need upgrades at all those things but it’s a QB-driven league. Those other needs wouldn’t seem so pressing if we had Peyton Manning at QB and were getting ready for our bye week heading into the playoffs at 12-4 or 13-3.

And Manning is an extreme example because he may go down as the best QB of all-time, but a journeyman like Gradkowski probably could’ve led this team to 9-7 if he had the whole year under center.

We definitely do need a run-stuffing MLB and most importantly major upgrades on the o-line.

Can you imagine playing football infront of 70k fans?! I love to compete, but that’s just me!

I could only imagine playing in front of 38,000 or so LOL oh yeah unless it was an away game.

Bottom line is the O-Line stinks. The only reason JaMarcus came in the game yesterday was becuade Frye was a walking crash test dummy.

Who is the coach on this team that specializes in offensive line work? Tom Cable.

He is an O-line coach and clearly not as good of a coach as HE thinks he is. If he can’t even get the O-line straightened out, how the hell can he be expected to be a Head Coach as well as an Offensive Coordinator?

YOU NEED SOME TALENT TO COACH

THE MAJORITY OF US WERE SCREAMING FOR O-LINE IN THE DRAFT. WE COULD OF GOTTEN EUGENE MONROE OR MICHAEL OHER INSTEAD OF DHB AND STILL GOTTEN MURPHY LATER
